That'll be the problem then, most likely any way.
I'd whip the wheel off and retorque the bottom ball joints for peace of mind (35nm) make sure he's put the right size in as well as they come in either 16mm or 18mm

When ever suspension work has been done you really ought to have laser alignment done just in case, its worth the £15-20 alone to stop your tyres from getting killed.

Ino im gona get it done on tuesday, I hope it is just the tracking

Most half decent indie tyre fitting centres will do laser alignment and if somethings not right they will say.

Aircool is right, laser alignment is well worth the cash and like he said, most backstreet guys would have a look and tell you if there are any other problems. Avoid kwikshit as they charge a pretty penny, BUT, the do allow you to go back within 30 days for a free recheck/realign

Yeh theres a place near me what does it, can lower ball joints be too tight
